Sid shall giveth, and Sid shall taketh away

Funny gameplay experience that happened to my girlfriend...ya I got her hooked on this game

She plays on Warlord, so when she started with a scout playing as Pericles, she got really really lucky and had two goody huts gift her two settlers in a row, all right as she had founded her second city.

She said that at this time, most of the AIs only had 1 or 2 cities, so this was looking to be a good game.

Sid shall giveth....

As she hurried to build some city defenders, she managed to send a warrior to guard each of her 4 cities.

Just then she gets a Barbarian uprising even that spawns SWORDSMEN at her borders, and she is helpless as she watches her Warriors vainly try to defender her cities against a stack of barbarian swordsmen.

...and Sid shall taketh away.

So was destroyed by barbarians and had to start a new game

You can get settlers from goody huts?

Sounds rather unfortunate anyways.

Inspector Javert · Oct 28, 2007

Yeah you can get settlers from goody huts, I'm a warlord and I get them all the time.

Oh and as for you Deagle, you have a girlfriend who plays civ? I think I speak for every male on this board when I say DON'T SCREW IT UP!!!!!!

I've Never experienced getting settlers from huts - like the old days. It may because of lower difficulty? When playing on Prince and higher, it never occurs.

JujuLautre · Oct 28, 2007

no settlers and workers from huts at noble and higher; this explains that

Lucky you >_<

Before I try to get a gf who plays civ, I might have a try at a gf at all >_>

maybe you should stop referring to yourself as "bat out of hell". while you CAN get a gf with that moniker, she probably won't play civ...

EDIT: you should stop saying that women playing civ is unusual before kmadcandy discovers this thread...

Or I discover it! Or my upstairs neighbour discovers it! Or all the other women out there .... ..... ..... :mwaha:

You'll have us at your throat, then where would you be? :trouble:

I wonder if I should send a link to KMad, and tip my neighbour :hmm:

For some reason I got a mental picture of this apartment building where all the women played Civ. Mixed in with all-night slumber parties and pillow fights.

But then I woke up.

Dream on!

Nope, sorry, only 5 apartments, no slumberparties, and as far as I know, only 2 women and (possibly a feamle teenager) playing civ.
And would you believe, we don't even discuss the game :confused:

, we've got other things to talk about, like repairs on the building, garden upkeep and such.

...It's a title of one of my favorite albums. I have seen wierder sigs.

...I'll stop now, although KMad would prolly just giggle if she found this thread.

Dunno about your neighboor, but definately send a link to KMad, we can't have her missing out on the fun.

THAT is really funny stuff..... :lol:

I think it is imperative to have a lady who doesn't play civ. WHo knows if I would ever leave the house if she played? I might take it too seriously and start thinking that the HRE doesn't deserve a spot in the game, or that gandhi shouldn't be in there, or that hitler should be in. Should I even mention Poland? I need her to drag me away from the computer and out into the real world

Kelvenor · Oct 31, 2007

Poland...?! What is it with Polan?

Guardian_PL · Oct 31, 2007

Kelvenor, You really don't want to know.
Unless You're polish as well or from Firaxis
